Abigail Gordon - Winter Wonderland Wishes - A Mummy to Make Christmas / His Christmas Bride-to-Be / A Father This Christmas?

She felt a little homesick for the first time, and called her father.

‘I assisted in surgery last week, and I’m heading in today to the practice, and then tomorrow I’m in Theatre again,’ she told him as she ate her muesli and fruit breakfast with her mobile phone on speaker. ‘And I finally met Ken Rollins.’

‘That’s great. I bet you quizzed him about his papers.’

‘I did and he was so generous with his knowledge.’

‘How long will his son be filling in before he leaves and heads back to his old position?’

Phoebe’s mood suddenly and unexpectedly fell as she listened to her father and was reminded that Heath and Oscar were only transient in her life. She had enjoyed spending time with Heath out of work hours. No matter how much she was looking forward to working with Ken, she knew she would miss Heath. He was charming company when he lifted his guard, and he had managed to make her feel important with the way he listened to her and engaged in their conversations.

He was a far cry from the distracted man who had once held the title of her fiancé. And she suddenly felt a little sad that Heath would be gone in a few short weeks. She knew she wanted more. What that was, she wasn’t sure—but she knew even after such a short time there would be a void in her life when he left.
